My interest in Twitter is pretty erratic. I love using the search to find out if people are talking about stuff that I’m currently obsessing over (Selena Gomez!!!) but to be honest, my life is too boring to tweet on a regular basis. That is, until I had inadvertently started a twitter war.
(@philcooper) told me I should be following some whacked out Pro Anorexia/Bulimia girls who had recently started tweeting. For those of you who don’t know, these are girls who share tips on throwing up and starving themselves. Natrually, I was interested. As a matter of fact, there are whole online communities devoted to this “lifestyle”. Sample post from an ana/mia blog: ”Is it normal that I can’t stop pooping blood?” As if it’s EVER normal to be shitting out Lake Superiors worth of blood from your anus. “Did you drink a lot of coffee?”
Here’s the rundown of what happened:
distortedview: Thanks @philcooper for telling me about @pro_ana FANTASTIQUE!. All should be following for some good tips and tricks to look FABULOUS
pro_ana: Girls please block these twitterers. RT @Distortedview @philcooper
Ok, in my opinion, the pro_ana girls over-reacted by far. I didn’t write anything particularly mean!(yet) Besides, isn’t that why they’re on twitter? To spread some thinspiration? What the hell is stuck up their asses? Probably coffee grounds, wine, or some other sure-fire enema solution.
distortedview: Oh, @pro_ana , lighten up. and by lighten up i mean LOSE SOME WEIGHT.
hunger4plesur: RT @pro_ana: Girls please block these twitterers. RT @Distortedview @philcooper
Skinnyscorpio: @pro_anaum. wtf? Why do people choose to pick fights with others on twitter, who they don’t even know? fuckin’ jerks!
GitEmSteveDave: @Distortedviewlooks like Timmy messin’ with the Ana-mia kids again.
pro_ana: Girls more twitterers 2 block: @GitEmSteveDave @wellithinkso RETWEET!
And on and on went the RT’s calling for my blocking. One little comment sent these girls into a frenzy, and I have to tell you, it was the most fun I’ve had on twitter since I used my cellphone in the bathroom to ask my followers to guess the type I shit I was taking. I lurve technology.
